While do support Jamie's call for a poll on a rebit of ICANN, I don't 
see the problem with Thomas' call for due process. The 
significance and impact of polls depend on the support by those 
who are expected to vote. I find it only reasonable to ask the GA 
whether its members actually want to vote on a motion.
